My friend is going to join Amazon in January. His manager sent him an email stating he should start immediately as he is forming a new team and no one must fall behind. His manager also stated this is unofficial and he wont receive sign-on, hardware or salary until he starts officially in January. Note: He will receive mostly tech stack and domain related training. TC: 180K YOE: 3
There is no way this is real. Who works for free?
Yeah, manager said its voluntary. Manager just don't want him fall behind.
More like voluntelling
Lol what would your friend do without hardware?
Tech stack and domain related training
This can't be true
I have a copy of the email. Very sad indeed.
Boycott amazon. Cut your subscriptions dump your devices
What group within Amazon is this? Doesn’t sound normal
Bullshit troll post from a fake account. When did blind turn into pre-Elon Twitter?
No!
This can't be true. Amazon wouldn't want to open up to liability. Without hardware and accounts created, that person will not have access to anything.
Only training about tech stack and domain.
Even that doesn’t make sense. You keep using those words - I don’t think you know what they mean. All training and relevant stuff requires creds and an Amazon email.
First of all, ask your friend to consult a lawyer and confirm if this is legal
He wouldn’t mind if he didn’t have a job right now. Working one job and learning new stack and domain is difficult for him.
Did Amazon aquire Affirm or something? This seems like "work now, get paid later" situation
It doesn’t even sound like this person will get paid for the ‘training’
Amazon is a lot of things but they would never do this and attract law suits😂
Manager said its voluntary. IDK much about law though.
Would not put it past some random manager to violate policy.
